Mojabeng Senekal‑Ndebele: A Crown Carried with Purpose
Pageantry & Modelling
Mojabeng Senekal‑Ndebele’s journey in pageantry began at the tender age of 13, not as a pursuit of fame, but as an expression of her love for people, confidence, and meaningful impact. What began as a teenage interest evolved into a national legacy. She has since won over 20 pageant titles, including:
- Miss National University of Lesotho
- Face of Lesotho
- Miss Africa Lesotho
- And most notably, Mrs. Grand Africa 2023, where she made history as the first married woman from Lesotho to win a continental title.
Driven by a deep sense of justice and equity, Mojabeng has used every platform she has earned to be a voice for the voiceless. She stands firmly for the underserved, the overlooked, and the misunderstood, using pageantry as more than a stage — but as a vehicle for advocacy, inspiration, and social change.
A National Symbol of Excellence
In 2025, Mojabeng was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Beauty Pageants Association of Lesotho – the first time this award has ever been granted in Lesotho’s history. It was given in recognition of her unwavering consistency, trailblazing international representation, and her ability to carry Lesotho’s name with pride, discipline, and distinction on every stage she graced.

Her achievement is not simply one of beauty, but of character, courage, and conviction, standing tall for what is right, even when no one is watching, and leading with grace even when there is no applause.
